How to Use a Xbox Memory Card

Because the original Xbox console comes with 8GB of built-in storage space, usually there's no need for extra memory. However, a memory card-- or the Xbox Memory Unit as Microsoft's version is officially called-- comes in handy for transferring saved data or using an Xbox Live account on another Xbox. This guide will explain how to use the Xbox Memory Card for both of these purposes.
